The rear door can still open. everything still functions the way it's supposed to be, just looked different.
like I said the car itself is still far from finish, Many CF parts will be installed later during the final stage.
Step by step progress will be posted so y'all be the first to know.

Cannot wait to see the evolution of this project. Don't hear those old ladies always whining on forums. They probably are aftermarket haters. Indeed you need some spacers, but especially in the back it would be better to have a nice deep dish after all, if you are considering changing the rims. And +1 for selling the widebodykit.

A for effort! The front half looks pretty good. Wheel style is nice, but the rear needs a more aggressive offset to sit flush with the wider rear.
Might be too late, but something to think about. If you can somehow accentuate the rear fender-well, similar to this veilside fortune FD, you can carve out what some of the guys are calling fat. Refer to below:

Hey Guys
Don't forget about the body is way too fat and he will need a big wheels to match the body to flow nice, If he put small wheels on and it will look funny with the fat body on it.
INSPIRE, Listen to me not anyone lol. Go for 20 n 22 or fully 22.

Will post some more photos tommorow. please keep in mind, i wanted to get the "exotics" look. Not the regular "nice 8" sort of thing.
it's like when u see the fast & furious 3. who would've tought anyone can make an FD that handsome.
Do know that the black and orange color scheme in Tokyo Drift, I did that way before the movie was even released. and even untill then they tought I was imittating the movie.

Picture this, u walk in to a show, u see all these tricked out rides. U see the Z's, the Evo's, the Subby's, the Euro's. How would you outstand them? By putting some nice kits, some nice wheels, some boosted parts etc? But that's all.there is. everyone else are doing the same things. So how do you take it to another level? By doing something ridiculously outrageous. Do you think Movie cars would feature a nice looking FD with some add ons and turbos and expect the general public to understand. forget it. everyone will say "My car looks better than that".
So one day, I woke up from bed and thinking, since no one else in this world is doing it to the 8, I say what the hell Let's do it or die trying. At least I already made an attempt.
Some people would disagree of course. But this car is purposedly build for shows.
so do keep in mind that regular looking 8 simply dont cut it in shows.

For me it's pointless to do track in an AT. so, like I said this car is only for Shows.
If u're curious I also do other track cars
S2K Supercharged & JDM Civics
Some SUV perhaps
I'm spitting high performance cars left & right everyday and still bored sh!tless out of my mind.
That's the whole point of doing this project.

INSPIRE, is everything made out of fiberglass, or did you use foam as well to form the shapes on the side of the car?
